Yankees announcers Ken Singleton and David Cone wish the best for Mets project Tim Tebow … but view the former Broncos and Jets quarterback’s baseball chances as fourth-and-long.

“Here’s my deal, and this goes for the fans, and everybody who watches games on TV — the only reason baseball looks that easy, is because the players are that good, and that’s why their mistakes are so glaring, when somebody makes a throwing error or misses a ball, that’s something kids and people do all the time in softball games,” Singleton said. “But the players make it look easy. It’s not that easy. I wish him good luck … but I don’t know. This is not gonna be as easy as maybe it looks.”

Cone’s advice for Tebow?

“Swing at the first pitch,” Cone said and laughed, “and hope it’s a fastball.

“At first I was very skeptical, but he’s such an interesting guy, and he’s such a lightning rod and beloved by so many. He’s obviously a very good guy, people love him. On the other end, he’s a lightning rod for criticism, for religion, for all sorts of issues.

“I’ve always been an old-school guy, you’ve gotta earn your spot,” the YES analyst added. “And he’s getting at-bats that somebody else would die for. I had so many minor-league buddies that I came up through the system with that never got that one at-bat in a major league spring training game. A lot of my buddies died on the vine. But at the same time, he’s a dynamic guy, dynamic character, what a fantastic athlete. If the Mets want to give him that shot, that’s their decision.”

Cone has read some mixed scouting reports on Tebow.

“When he faces top-shelf pitching that can make the ball move all over the place,” Cone said, “I think it can get a little ugly for him.”
